    Plastic missing off of front of guage

    I've just dug out my co2 regulator and the plastic is missing from the front of one of the gauges. Will this still be OK to use? I'm presuming the CO2 doesn't reach the front of the gauge hence will be totally fine, just wanted to check first. thanks

    Whats the current popular (best) inline diffuser?

    I'm thinking about replacing my up atomizer, not because I've had a problem with it, more because my new filter has 12/16 pipe and my up atomizer 16/22. Will do some tests first to see what the output is like using the 16/22 up atomiser and 16/22 spraybar (zeus gave me good advice in another...

    Does PH test solution expire?

    Hi, I have a API multi test kit that's 7 years old, I also have an additional PH test kit that's about 5 years old. I have 4dkh solution. I had my CO2 on from 1pm until 7pm. I initially had my drop checker on the side of the tank, using 4dkh and a few drops from my 5 year old kit. It stayed...

    Regulator washer between reg and thread convertor

    Hi all. I stupidly took off my thread adapter today and the washer in the reg is ruined. It's a bowl shaped washer if that makes any sense. 12 mm edge to edge with a 6mm hole in the middle. Could I use an o-ring or a load of ptfe? the reg has MIGNON on the front and K1 N 081819 110 BAR RH...

    FE nut keeps coming loose

    Been using a FE for quite a while now, every time I refill it, I replace the fibre washer with a new one (all from the same batch). The previous refill, it was on the tank for about a month, when I heard a hissing sound, and had to tighten the main regulator nut onto the FE. I thought it was...

    fire extinguisher leaking

    Hi all Today I went to get my fire extinguisher refilled and as it was 12 years old, they wouldn't do it. Long story short, I brought a reconditioned replacement. As far as I can remember, there was no washer between my D-D thread converter and the fire extinguisher. No matter how tight I...

    up atomizer placement

    Hi all. Have taken the plunge and decided to replace my home made reactor with the up atomizer. Does it matter where I position it on the outlet pipe? For instance, can I position it a few inches after the pipe leaves the filter, and have it simply dangling (well dangling is the wrong word...

    inline reactor not connected to ext filter suggestions

    Hi all, title not making it clear at all. I built a home made reactor a couple of months ago that's connected to the output of my external filter. It seems to be working reasonably well. I have 2 problems, both I THINK I have the answer to, but am not sure what I need. 1) The first problem...

    problem assembling my new D-D CO2 reg

    Hi all My local FS had a saltwater D-D on sale reduced from £131 to £70, think it was old stock they were getting rid of. Brand new. D-D's faq said the only difference was it also came with a high pressure gauge and no diffuser. Not a problem, I've built a reactor. It was on display on the...
